Alexander (DTS Version) (2DVD Special Edition)

YesAsia Editorial Description

He was many things to many people - a dashing warrior king, filled with ambition, courage and the arrogance of youth, leading his vastly outnumbered forces against the massive Persian armies... a son desperately longing for the approval of his stern, battle-scarred father, torn and conflicted by his mother's legacy... a relentless conqueror who never lost a battle and drove his soldiers to the very edges of the Known World... a visionary whose dreams, deeds and destiny echo through eternity, helping to shape the face of the world as we know it today. He was all that and more. He was Alexander the Great.

Oliver Stone's Alexander is based on the true story of one of history's most luminous and influential leaders (Colin Farrell) - a man who had conquered 90% of the known world by the age of 25. Alexander led his virtually invincible Greek and Macedonian armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years, and by the time of his death at the age of 32 had forged an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. The film takes a bold, honest look at Alexander's life and his relationships with his mother, Olympias (Angelina Jolie), his father Philip (Val Kilmer), his lifelong friend and battle commander Hephaistion (Jared Leto), Roxane, his ambitious and beautiful Bactrian wife (Rosario Dawson), and his trusted general and confidant Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins). Set in Alexander's pre-Christian world of social customs and morals far different from today's, the film explores a time of unmatched beauty and unbelievable brutality, of soaring ideals and staggering betrayals.

This edition also comes with special features such as the making-of, interviews, trailers, etc.

  本片乃根據史上最具影響力的君王──亞歷山大帝(哥連法路飾)的一生改編而成。他是公元前三百多年的馬其頓國王,抱負統一世界的理想,以驕人的軍事智慧,於25歲就征服了當時世界版圖上90%。

  可惜,英雄的背後,埋藏萬千心結…

  他的父王腓力(韋基馬飾)權傾天下,卻畏首畏尾,沒有作戰的膽量和野心;他的母后奧林匹亞詩(安芝蓮娜祖莉飾)野心勃勃,不擇手段推兒子繼位,以完成她統領世界的野心。亞歷山大帝成為父母之間的鬥爭工具。

  此外,他與黑人妻子洛珊(羅沙奧達臣飾)、兄弟戰友赫弗斯遜(謝域力圖飾)以及良師將軍托勒密(安東尼鶴健士飾)之間的微妙感情亦深深影響了亞歷山大帝的一生…

  本片史無前例,將亞歷山大帝踏上傳奇之路的歷程,以及他不為人知的複雜感情一一披露觀眾眼前。

  The greatest legend of all was real.

Hate it, hate it, hate it! Customer Review Rated Bad 1 - 1 out of 10
When I first heard that a movie would be made about the life of Alexander the Great, I was really excited: an epic about one of the greatest warrios in history! Guess my expectiations were too high: the casting was bad (Colin Farrell should consider another job, since this was the worst piece of acting I've ever seen), the movie was too long (3 whole hours!!!), and I nearly fell asleep due to the boring narration of the story by Anthony Hopkins. It's a big shame: Alexander the Great did not deserve this!

Ignore the hate, this movie is a near-masterpiece, Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This is the rushed theatrical cut, a Final Cut will be released later in the year. "Alexander" was ignorantly trashed. Stone clearly invested this giant film with passion. A study of power, it's a DRAMA of a complex personality at the center of significant events, as opposed to fantasy action. Instead of unrealistic heroics it focuses on psychology and the reality of battle. The acting and overall tone of the movie is pretty thunderous and raw. Personal. To movie critics that meant awful because loud emotions scare them. The big problem some have is Farrell's historically accurate feminine traits and cultural sex attitudes. The text of the script and the way it was filmed presents a detailed and psychologically compelling thesis about a significant personality, which is more interesting than a bunch of movie critics' use of negative adjectives. Disregard mainstream hyperbole. Order this and think for yourself. Best elephant scene ever!

Worst movie ever!!!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 1 - 1 out of 10
Alexander the Great is one of the greatest generals in history. In this movie, Colin Farrell portrays Alexander as the greatest sissy in the world. Farrell was totally implausible as Alexander...VERY BAD CASTING!!! And please shoot Anthony Hopkins as the most boring narrator of this totally boring story! Watching this movie is the same as being shot in the face! PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE....it's for your own good!
